WYNNE, Ark. — A firefighter is in the hospital after a fire truck pinned him to another truck Saturday afternoon.
WREG.com reported that Chief Lynn Blake, with the Wynne (Ark.) Fire Department, said the department was paged to help the Parkin (Ark.) Fire Department on a fire call when the incident happened.
Firefighter Rick Wimberley arrived on the scene in his personal truck. One of the arriving Parkin fire trucks drove too close to Wimberley, pinning him between his truck and the rig. Wimberley was transported to a hospital.
His condition is still unclear at this time; Wimberley’s son wrote in a Facebook post that his father “is doing as good as can be.” He said he has a fractured pelvis and a lot of bruises. Doctors are also checking for shoulder injuries.
